The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

With a sound of "swish", the feathered arrow, which was coated with a layer of dazzling golden light by the morning glow, accurately shot into the stag's left eye and passed out from the right eye, without damaging any fur.Recalling the applause like thunder, Ning Shan put down her strong bow in satisfaction, and said loudly: "Boys, let's show your majesty!" All the generals responded in unison and galloped out together.

The first autumn macaque of the Dugu Dynasty officially began.

Jia Amnesty was sitting on a high stand, happily laughing foolishly, his eldest son is really good at archery and his posture is really handsome.Jia Lian nestled aside, staring at the galloping heroes with half envy and half jealousy. He also wanted to show off his heroic posture, but unfortunately he could still watch while riding a horse, but he couldn't shoot the arrow accurately.Jia Amnesty strictly forbids him to end, so as not to fall into the royal prestige.

However, Jia Zhen followed the hunt in a turbulent manner. His riding skills were quite passable, and his archery was considered to be top-notch among dudes. Although he didn't expect to win the top spot in this kind of occasion, it was still good to mix it up and make a familiar face. It's easy.Jia Qiang also had the same idea, and rushed out together with a few friends who had made friends in Luan Yiwei. They were not going to participate in the competition, and they just wanted to have fun.

The martial arts rules announced by Ning Shan and the promised rewards can really inspire fighting spirit, and his Majesty the Emperor also took the lead to participate, and the generals will naturally work harder. Apart from wanting to show their abilities, many people secretly cling to them The generals and emperors compared each other - the undisputed strongest in the army in the past was Ning Shan, now that he has withdrawn from the ranking, there is no reason for the others not to fight for victory.

Jia Amnesty got sleepy just looking at it, everyone ran away, and he couldn't see anymore, so why don't you sleep?Jia Lian pushed him desperately: "Father, master, father, why don't you always see what occasion it is?" Snoring here, do you still think you are not eye-catching enough?

Jia She covered his face with his sleeve and yawned, "Then what should I do?"

Qiu Shi'an persuaded: "The Supreme Emperor might as well get on the horse and go for a walk, so as to appear close to the people and kind."

Jia She gave him a blank look: "Can you afford to pay for the fall?"

Qiu Shi'an apologized and said with a smile: "Don't ride to the paddock where the competition is held, you go to Her Royal Highness's side for a little exercise, won't it also refresh your mind."

After officially camping and hunting, Yingchun and Daiyu took the girls and sisters of the accompanying officials and the female family members of the army from the border town to another camp. It was a specially circled area with flat terrain and no dense forest. A safe place patronized by ferocious beasts is available for ladies to ride horses, take walks, chat and fish.

As the eldest princess with the highest status, Yingchun also delivered a speech, thanking the frontier women who came to accompany them, and wishing everyone a happy time.But most of the people were smiling, not happy at all.Daiyu tugged at Yingchun's lapel, and said with a light smile, "Don't be angry, seeing how unhappy they all are, what are you happy about?"

Yingchun complained softly: "It's not my idea for men and women to camp separately, so what's the matter with showing me face?" The emperor brother clearly announced that he would not be drafted to fill the harem, but he didn't expect that girls with "aspirations of youth" would still For this tour, because it was said that they could bring their immediate family members, a large group of adults eager to be the emperor's half-father-in-law took the most beautiful daughters, granddaughters, granddaughters, nieces, nephews and even young children. The younger sister brought her here, and they all wanted to take advantage of the fact that the queen's sister-in-law couldn't accompany her.

Daiyu shook her handkerchief, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I expect you to open your mouth and allow them to go to the hunting ground, but you talk about him from left to right, but you don't say what people want to hear most, but you are not happy. That's enough respect." At least no one made trouble, and no one directly spoke out against her, which showed that the position of Her Highness the Eldest Princess is quite lofty.If it was her who spoke, it would be more than just blind eyes.How many famous ladies who dreamed of entering the harem regarded her as an imaginary enemy, Daiyu would have a headache thinking about it, if she really stood on the opposite side of everyone, it would be fine, at least she would not be willing to roll her eyes, but the emperor's cousin did not accept her It means, what kind of attitude do these girls have to deal with her coldly.Daiyu expressed that she was very angry, and she couldn't wait for someone who didn't have long eyes to bump into her and let her vent her anger.

However, the girls have obviously received earnest warnings from their families. Although they all looked forward to the hunting ground eagerly, no one acted on their own initiative, and no one ran to Yingchun and Daiyu to chew their tongues, so Daiyu couldn't find it. reason.He had no choice but to ride his pony depressedly, and let Xin Yi accompany him to continue his riding practice.Ever since Yingchun had learned from Yunhai, the riding skills of the two were far apart, not to mention worlds apart, and now Daiyu could no longer race horses with Yingchun.

Li Keming was very serious in his work, and he had made an appointment with the three sisters in his family early on. The three sisters watched Daiyu go away, and Yingchun returned to the tent alone, so they went to ask to see each other, saying that the three sisters wanted to accompany the eldest princess to release the horse. Shoot and hunt as a game.There are also some prey in this small paddock, which are docile and harmless small animals like pheasants, foxes and rabbits that Jia Lian specially asked people to put in, for the entertainment of the female relatives.Yingchun thought that Xin Yi was going to serve Daiyu to practice, and she was afraid that she would have to sit for half a day, but suddenly someone came to accompany her, of course she was very happy, and asked Si Qi and others to take her riding outfit and put it on, and carried a small bow on her back , and ran out with a bag of unsharp arrows.

Si Qi didn't want Yingchun to graze the horses alone, and insisted that she wait for Xin Yi to come back for safety.Miss Li immediately flew on the horse, whipped and galloped, but in less than half a stick of incense, she came back with two bamboo chickens whose wings had been pierced by an arrow, threw them in front of Si Qi, dismounted and smiled at Yingchun: "Minister girl!" Make a fool of yourself."

Yingchun's eyes were full of admiration: "Miss, you are welcome. I wonder which general you are the daughter of? Such good skills are really enviable."

Miss Li Er said with a smile: "The three girls and sisters are the daughters of the Li family, the guard of the border town." Yingchun is no stranger to the Li family, and she knew it immediately: "It turns out that she is the granddaughter of Duke Wu, who is so heroic and heroic." What. Which room do you all belong to?"

Miss Li said: "They are all from the fifth house. The Li family has only the fifth house and no sons, so we have three sisters." The next generation of the country.But their father was very lucky. The names that should be given by their grandfather were too ugly.

At this time, Yingchun's father, Wei, had already brought her pony over, Xiuju asked the accompanying Xiao Taijin to bring the horse stool, and Miss Li San, who had been silent all this time, went forward to help Yingchun get on the horse, After she sat down firmly, the three of them also lifted their legs and got on the saddle together. They turned the horse's head and were about to set off. Si Qi hurriedly said: "Miss Li, please take care of Your Highness. She hasn't learned how to ride a horse for long. , not proficient, so don’t drop it.”

Miss Li said: "Miss, don't worry, I guarantee that Her Highness the Princess will be unscathed." As she spoke, she drove the horse forward and took the reins of Yingchun's horse: "Don't blame the princess, the girl will lead the horse for you, let's go for a few laps first. Familiarize yourself with the terrain before making plans.”

While adjusting her posture on the horse, Yingchun said: "You don't have to be polite about each 'folk girl', let's all be casual, the paddock doesn't matter how big or small, I still want to learn how to ride and shoot from you. In this way, you are all My master." The three sisters of the Li family laughed together, and stopped being overly humble, and only used "I" to refer to themselves, and their words became much more lively. Miss Li chirped along the way and pointed out the secrets of Yingchun's horse riding, Yingchun Listening carefully, she found that it was quite different from what Xin Yi taught her, but it was very close to what Yun Hai taught her. She immediately understood that there is an essential difference between palace riding and military riding.

Yun Haizheng, who was reminded of the benefits by Yingchun, sneaked into the range of the small hunting ground together with his little friend Li Keming.The hunting competition is not just one day today, but a total of three days, and the total is calculated at the end, so they can afford to delay this day.He brought Li Keming with him for the convenience of the three young ladies from Li's family.

Li Keming was also a little excited, he was very curious about the Princess Highness who could make Brother Yun fascinated, so as soon as Yunhai invited him, he followed without saying a word.

By the side of the stream connecting the two hunting grounds, Daiyu and Xin Yi slowly trotted over. Daiyu was busy practicing vigorously, and Xinyi also stared at Daiyu's movements without squinting, always guarding against her carelessness. Injured, neither of them bothered to observe whether their route had deviated from the plan.

From a distance, Yunhai and Li Keming, who had strong eyesight, both saw these two girls and felt very strange. Looking at the direction they were heading, it must be the big paddock, and this direction would directly enter the Black Forest. The generals were all there to shoot and hunt ferocious beasts. Once the two girls passed by, they would not be trampled by the frightened horses, and they would be easily shot by Liu Ya.

Yun Hai rode forward and said loudly: "You can't go ahead, you go back quickly." Li Keming followed the horse and crossed into the creek, and stopped in front of the two horses with a series of water splashes: "Don't you know that women are not allowed to enter the hunting ground? "

This rule was stipulated by Ning Jialian, Prince of Taiping. King Taiping, who has been loved by many bold women all year round, is quite aware of the ambitions of most of the daughters who accompanied him this time, so he has the foresight to enclose all the peach blossoms for his imperial brother. within the unreachable range.Li Keming had been with Jia Lian day and night for several months, so he naturally heard him talking about these things, and was affected by this, without even asking, he took Daiyu, who was good-looking and weak in riding skills, as an opportunity to please His Majesty in the hope of being able to The girl who entered the palace is now, as for Xin Yi, of course she is the first-class matchmaker who serves the young lady.

Daiyu doesn't know Li Keming, but she is quite familiar with Yunhai. She has been pissed off by him for a long time, and now she wants to sarcastically say goodbye: "Hey, what is the place ahead that I can't go to?" She never knew about Yunhai. It's Haijiang's general, just like Yunhai didn't know that she was the princess of this dynasty, but the voice was quite familiar: "Yes...is it you?" That eloquent little maid in the princess carriage?It looks really eye-catching, Guess Dao is so arrogant!

Li Keming asked curiously: "Someone you know?" Could this be Her Royal Highness? She was dressed in a light blue riding outfit, sitting upright on the horse, with a slender figure, elegant demeanor, a melodious voice, and a very beautiful appearance. She is beautiful and beautiful, but she subtly feels that she does not look much like His Majesty.Li Xiaojun, who had just seen Daiyu's appearance clearly, immediately overturned his previous judgment - there is no need to please anyone if he grows up like this.

Yunhai said angrily: "Stumbling block." No matter how beautiful she is, it is not his thing, and Yingchun is no worse than her. She only praised her for a moment, but after hearing Daiyu's voice, she immediately changed her attitude, and said coldly like an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves: "It's considered acquaintance, but I haven't seen her face before, and this appearance has lived up to her eloquence. "

Li Keming reacted for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "This is the... little maid you mentioned?"

Daiyu's eyes widened, this person is really good, still treat her like a little maid?But at the moment there is still a foreigner whom she doesn't know. Although Daiyu is not afraid of meeting people, she does not forget the etiquette. She keeps her eyes on her nose and her heart. No, it doesn't make much sense to be reserved.However, this person was rude to her before because he didn't know her identity and had never seen her face. Now that he saw her, he was still not pretending, and he didn't even look straight in the eye.

Xin Yi was very cramped, and wanted to go back while pulling Daiyu's horse: "Jun..."

Daiyu suddenly said: "It's our fault, we went the wrong way, so we're going back now." For some reason, she suddenly didn't want these two people to know her true identity. The shelves are also pointless.

Xin Yi didn't say a word, jumped off the horse neatly, took the two reins and headed towards the original road.Behind him was Yun Hai's angry stare, and Li Keming's unblinking gaze: "A court lady is already such a talent, and the princess is naturally even more extraordinary."

Yun Hai is honest: "It can only be said that it is between brothers and sisters. Although the princess is as beautiful as Zhilan, she is beautiful and unconventional, but if this little maid is not so cunning and eccentric and loves to be sarcastic, she can be called Zhong Lingxiuxiu, and she is unparalleled. But With such stunning beauty in the palace, can the empress feel at ease?" Many people think that the ban on drafting is not the emperor's intention, and of course it is not the emperor's intention, but that the empress's jealousy is too much, and it is released under the guise of the emperor's name. Yizhi.Furthermore, because the two majesties did not come forward to clarify the meaning, this rumor intensified, and in the end even the people who followed Ning Shan all year round believed it.

Li Keming reluctantly pulled back his eyes glued to the distant traces, and murmured: "I don't know what the big reward His Majesty is talking about?" A while ago, I heard that a group of female officials were released from the palace because the age limit was relaxed compared to the previous dynasty. However, many of the female officials who left the palace were still in their prime, and many of them were married back by second- and third-rate wealthy families in Beijing.Those who haven't married are actively looking forward to the second batch, but they don't know if they, who are not in Beijing all the year round, can get preferential treatment from His Majesty, and directly point to them as a batch?

Yun Hai firmly believed: "It must mean that the winner can stand for the election of the son-in-law." Wen You was listed on the list to catch the son-in-law, and Wu naturally should use martial arts to recruit relatives.

Li Keming said: "In fact, I am very satisfied with marrying a court lady." Of course, if it is the little palace lady I met today, I am very satisfied.
